Effective Date: January 1, 2010
PLEASE READ THIS PRIVACY POLICY CAREFULLY.
By accessing or otherwise using this site, you agree to be bound contractually
by this Privacy Policy.
To review material modifications and their effective dates scroll to the bottom
of the page.
1. Privacy Statement; Collection of Personal Information.
1.1 Ridge Logic Development LLC ("Ridge Logic") owns and operates this website
business. All references to "we", "us", this "website" or this "site" shall be
construed to mean Ridge Logic.
1.2 We understand that visitors to this website are concerned about the privacy
of information. The following describes our privacy policy regarding
information, including personal information, that we collect through this
website.
2. Modification of Privacy Policy. We reserve the right to modify this Privacy
Policy at any time, and without prior notice, by posting an amended Privacy
Policy that is always accessible by clicking on the "Privacy Policy" link on
this site's home page. Your continued use of this site indicates your acceptance
of the amended Privacy Policy. You should check the Privacy Policy through this
link periodically for modifications by clicking on the link provided near the
top of the Privacy Policy for a listing of material modifications and their
effective dates. Regarding personal information, if any modifications are
materially less restrictive on our use or disclosure of the personal information
previously disclosed by you, we will obtain your consent before implementing
such revisions with respect to such information.
3. Collection of Anonymous, Passive Information. We reserve the right to monitor
your use of this site. As you navigate through this site, certain anonymous
information may be passively collected (that is, gathered without your actively
providing the information) using various technologies, such as cookies, Internet
tags or web beacons, and navigational data collection (log files, server logs,
clickstream). The following is a listing and a brief explanation of passive
information collection methodologies which we may use from time to time to
better understand how this site is being used.
3.1 A "cookie" is a text file that this site sends to your browser in the form
of a text file The information generated by the cookie about your use of this
site (including your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored. Most
browsers automatically accept cookies, but they usually can be modified to
decline cookies if you prefer; however, certain features of this site might not
work without cookies.
3.2 "Session" cookies are temporary bits of information that are used to improve
navigation, block visitors from providing information where inappropriate (the
site "remembers" previous entries of age or country of origin that were outside
the specified parameters and blocks subsequent changes), and collect aggregate
statistical information on the site. They are erased once you exit your Web
3.3 You can set your browser to accept all cookies, to reject all cookies, or to
notify you whenever a cookie is offered so that you can decide each time whether
to accept it. To learn more about cookies and how to specify your preferences,
please search for "cookie" in the "Help" portion of your browser.
3.4 An Internet Protocol (IP) address is a number assigned to your computer by
your Internet service provider so you can access the Internet and is generally
considered to be non-personally identifiable information, because in most cases
an IP address is dynamic (changing each time you connect to the Internet),
rather than static (unique to a particular user's computer). The IP address can
be used to diagnose problems with a server, report aggregate information,
determine the fastest route for your computer to use in connecting to a site,
and administer and improve the site.
3.5 "Internet tags" (also known as Web Beacons, single-pixel GIFs, clear GIFs,
invisible GIFs, and 1-by-1 GIFs) are smaller than cookies and tell the Web site
server information such as the IP address and browser type related to the
visitor's computer. Tags may be placed both on online advertisements that bring
people to the site and on different pages of the site. Such tags indicate how
many times a page is opened and which information is consulted.
3.6 "Navigational data" (log files, server logs, and clickstream data) are used
for system management, to improve the content of the site, market research
purposes, and to communicate information to visitors.
4. Use and Sharing of Anonymous, Passive Information. This site may make full
use of passively collected anonymous information, including without limitation
the right to use such information to provide better service to site visitors,
customize the site based on your preferences, compile and analyze statistics and
trends, and otherwise administer and improve this site for your use. We reserve
the right to share this anonymous, passive information in aggregated form.
5. 3rd Party Behavioral Ads; Google's AdSense Network.
5.1 We reserve the right to use anonymous, passive information about your visits
to this and other websites (not including your name, address, email address or
telephone number) for purposes of serving our ads and third party ads that are
targeted to your interests ("3rd Party Behavioral Ads"). We reserve the right to
share anonymous, passive information collected on this site with third parties
for purposes of serving 3rd Party Behavioral Ads. These 3rd Party Behavioral Ads
do not identify you personally. Instead, they associate your behavioral data on
visited sites with your IP address, so that the ads your computer sees on this
site are more likely to be relevant to your interests. 3rd Party Behavioral Ads
require that you be served with a cookie containing a tracking code. You may
refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser;
however, please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full
functionality of this site.
5.2 We reserve the right to participate in Google’s AdSense network for purposes
of serving 3rd Party Behavioral Ads. Google uses DoubleClick’s DART cookie for

absolute security of any information you transmit to us or archive at this site.
